    You can try monster aquarium in queens and i believe they can ship to you. They should definately have the gouramis, betta, elephant nose, loach and shrimps. They will probably have a different variation of the badis, rasbora and busy nose pleco. :thrash:

    Glosso Since my gravel is coming in tomorrow I decided to take the 6 pots of glosso that I bought to clean and remove all the yellow and dead roots and leaves. I thought that spending one day on prepping the plants and the next day planting would be the best way to split up the tedious task...
  8. Mr Aqua 12 Gallon Long Planted Build

    Finally got a lot of the equipment in and ended up making some edits to my original plan. Instead of splitting the co2 I decided to just go ahead and buy a new 5lb tank and regulator/solenoid. I also went with a ISTA Max Mix c02 Reactor instead of the Nutrafin bubble counter/diffuser. The...

  15. baby bamboo shrimp help!

    I went to Fishtown USA yesterday and picked up 4 bamboo shrimp for the planted tank. After i got home i realized that one of the shrimps were pregnant and carrying a lot of eggs. I was reading online and it seems that the only way for these babies to survive is with salt/brackish water. Any of...
